Mike McGarvey

For more than 15 years Mike McGarvey has combined his love of gardening and photography to create "Art from the Butterfly Garden". All photos displayed here were taken in my backyard garden here in East Peoria, IL.

My main interest is in close-up or macro photography and my subjects include garden plants and visitors including butterflies, bees, wasps & whatever other pollinators drop into the garden.

Goal of my art: To share the incredible beauty and design of nature that can be found when you take a closer look.
